Shine Lyrics - True Believers - Darius Rucker

November of '43 

On a boat comin' 'cross the sea 

He left a boy, came back a man 

She started running' when she saw his face 

It'd been 655 days 

Since she held his hand 

He got down on one knee 

and pulled out that ring 

That he bought in Aberdeen 

And when it hit that New York sky 

It shined just like a spotlight 

A star up in the night sky 

The kind of thing that takes your breath away 

Her eyes sparked like that diamond 

With love beaming from 'em 

The kind of light that's never gonna fade 

It's gonna shine

Through the laughter and the tears 

My grandma always fore that band 

through atom bombs and a baby boom 

Dr. King and a man on the moon 

No it never left her hand 

On the day she passed away 

Mama put it on a chain 

Now and then on special days 

Mom would wear it around her neck 

It shined just like a spotlight 

A star up in the night sky 

The kind of thing that takes your breath away 

Her eyes sparked like that diamond 

With love beaming from 'em 

The kind of light that's never gonna fade 

It's gonna shine

Mama said one of these days 

I'd know why she gave me that ring 

Sittin' here I know she was right 

Oh, it's knot the biggest stone you've ever seen 

But girl I can promise you one thing 

The rest of your life 

It's gonna shine just like a spotlight 

A star up in the night sky 

The kind of thing that takes your breath away 

your eyes sparkled like that diamond 

With love beaming from 'em 

The kind of light that's never, never, never gonna fade 

It's gonna shine, shine, shine 

Shine, shine, shine 

Shine, shine, shine 

Like a beacon calling me home 

It's gonna shine 

Oh yeah, shine, shine, shine
